NFL trade rumors, 5 WRs on the trade block for Tennessee Titans
By Will Lomas
Five names being mentioned in trade talks that the Tennessee Titans should be interested in.
The trade deadline is coming quickly and while I expected there to be more rumors and whispers around the Tennessee Titans it seems like we may have to wait a few more days.
With the trade market heating up, the Sunday before the trade deadline is always really interesting because agents and teams are both making a public push to drum up interest in players.
I have said before that with Oakland and the Giants both in full on fire sale mode, the Titans should use this time to grab some great talent regardless of position.

However, the biggest markets across the NFL right now seem to be wide receiver and safety.
Another safety opposite Kevin Byard would be great, but the Titans could solve that in house with an extension to Kenny Vaccaro or even by keeping Johnathan Cyprien. So my eyes have been mostly focused on the wide receivers.
These are the five receivers whose name have either come up most often, or who I think would be a good fit for the Titans.
1. Desean Jackson, TB (Perfect fit)
This is the ideal scenario. In Jackson, the Titans would get someone with true game breaking deep speed who also HAS HANDS. That is something that I am not sure they have ever had.
All the tea leaves would make sense too:
-Jon Robinson has TB connections so he could make sure he would be a locker room fit
-He has a large salary, but nothing you would have to fix and it would keep him in Tennessee through next year too
-He is a deep threat, but he can also do everything. The perfect compliment on paper to Corey Davis.

2. Pierre Garcon, SF (Good fit)
I have always been a huge fan of Garcon because he has been incredibly consistent. While he has struggled with injuries over the last two years, when he has been in he has been very effective as a chain mover.
The reason I think he is such a good fit is because given his age and injury history, you would imagine that he is going to be fairly cheap and easy to trade for. If the Titans can’t get a big play machine, I wish they would get someone consistent.
3. Emmanuel Sanders, DEN (Good fit)
The Titans need a slot receiver in the worst way. Someone that they can line up there and who can win in several differnet ways and get great YAC.
In the NFL right now, there are only a handful of players I would rather have as my slot receiver than Sanders.
Right now he is on pace for another 1,000 yard season and he doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Forget about the age on the paper and watch the player, Sanders would be a great fit for the Titans and he could be their version of Cooper Kupp.
4. Davante Parker, MIA (Decent fit)
Parker is so weird to me. He is out with a mystery injury for months and now he suddenly miraculously heals just when the Dolphins run out of receivers? That doesn’t seem odd to anyone else?
Then when he plays (against the Texans) he has a huge game and looks like a star. There is something fishy going on with Parker and it seems like it would be better for everyone if they just cut their losses.
Parker would be a big body that can go up and get passes who Mariota might be able to trust to win 50/50 balls. The big questions for me are, what is the real situations in Miami and what would it cost to get him?

5. Demaryius Thomas, DEN (Decent fit)
Thomas is more on here because of the risk reward. Thomas is a habitual 1,000 yard receiver who has averaged over 1,200 yards over the last 6 seasons.
The Titans are trying to catch a falling knife with Thomas because they are hoping that his decline over the last two years has been more about the QB play rather than his actual ability.
Would a change of scenery be best for both parties? Probably, but like with all of these receivers the question is more about what it will cost to get him rather than the actual ability on the field.
